Is the pronunciation of "nombreuses années" in the first example correct? To my ear it sounds odd to emphasize the "es" when making the liaison.
In the question...
Comment ________ tes vacances ?How are your holidays going?... I wrote "vont" instead of "se passent". Why is that unacceptable, given that you can say "Comment allez-vous?"? Can you only use "aller" with people to mean "go" in this sense?
My french prof and textbook use "e" after (only) 1, 2, and 3 but writing "le 2e avril" or something like that was marked wrong by the kwizbot. Is 1e, 2e, 3e a regional or vernacular construction?
I'm currently teaching my high school French students the different uses of "Bon" and "Bien". We've already studied Bien as an adverb and are now focusing on its use as an adjective. One website that I am using for example phrases gave me this sentence: "Il est bon de se reposer après une longue journée)." Another one was: "Il est bon de vérifier votre travail avant de le soumettre." Based on my understanding and recent study of this concept, it seems that both phrases should use Bien in the place of Bon.
Any thoughts or explanations are appreciated.
Pourquoi avez-vous utilisé le dans l'expression "pour le goûter" et pas la, alors qu'il s'agit de la tarte, qui est un mot féminin ?
The expression "to make new sandals" is "faire de nouvelles sandales"
To say I have new sandals made, the correct answer is "Je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales" but I don't understand why it is a reflexive verb. I would have thought the answer is "Je fais faire de nouvelles sandales"
Is there any way to put the NEXT button next to the rating (smiley faces) BEFORE the lessons suggested? These dictation and writing exercises are so beneficial, but there is a lot of movement from keyboard to mouse to scroll past suggested lessons, after each small phrase. This physical repetitive movement is incredibly annoying and seems unnecessary. The best would be not having to switch to the mouse at all, that would be much more efficient ! Thanks for listening to my suggestion.
I like to try to expand my vocabulary and came across the verb répartir and used it in my translation. AI Overview quotes : répartir implies a more active process of distributing or sharing out, while "diviser" is more about the act of dividing itself. What’s your opinion ? I acknowledge that this is an A2 exercise and perhaps répartir is a little bit highfalutin but is it acceptable ? Also, the hints at A2 are definitely useful.
